No kidding.. Funny thing is I didnt even realize she was sitting there until I pulled the pics off the camera. Crept in through the coin door and was just hanging out. |

I was thinking that you might be able to hear the noise more if they were directly mounted to the cab as opposed to in a case inside the cab. --- End quote --- Possibly, I have a Zalman noiseless PSU for my cab tho ;D Here's a pic: |

I think that having the Mobo firmly attached to the cab has two major benefits: 1) when moving the cab, you don't have to remove or secure the PC 2) you don't have to deal with noisy case fans. And since we are sharing pics, |

Or did you fasten those somehow? I'm also afraid that 2) doesn't apply to modern PC's. With a "P2 age" (maybe even P3) system you might get away with that, but you'll at least need a case fan to cool a modern harddisk and I'll bet basically every major component in the PC. Convection isn't gonna cut it with the newer PC's. Of course you don't need a modern PC for mame (alone), but if you do then I'd guess you'd need to cool it with a fan. The vote is amazingly level BTW. Has been close to fifty fifty all the time. |
